Notes About The Poem

 

Stirring My Tea Contest    Sponsored by Fire Bird    December 22, 2023

Coffee, Tea or Chocolate

is it coffee or tea? No. No. Morning drinks of any kind, I'd prefer a cup of hot cocoa or chocolate milk comes to mind. I don't need a dose of caffein to motivate me after sleeping. I have not ground a single bean before coffee starts seeping. Marshmallows top my drink They're ooey gooey sweet And if some don't melt, I think I enjoy eating them as a treat. I've always had the thought... coffee smells better than it tastes. Addiction to it, I've never caught. If I made it, it'd only go to waste. When I do drink tea, Chai is best. So, if I want to have a cup of tea I'll take a pass on all the rest and brew a pot for company. When it's shared with friends it doesn't matter what we drink. What's important are dividends that gets our lives back in sync.

Oh, what a write, Lin, as you bring out the kids, appropriately seasonal, in all of us. Actually, 'twas the kids that got me caffienated as I'm exiting fussing with a tie and handed a thermos as 7 chocoalaty faces tried to say bye daddy to the former king of chocoalaty out the door wondering when did i abdicate. Well, I'm out from the hospital, doctors kept their word that Ill be out before the holidays--literally. (90% functionality) with homecare. Mele Kalikimaka a Hau'oli Maka Hiki Hou 2024.

Hi William. I didn't know you had been in the hospital, but 7 chocolate faced little ones might bring a few tense moments to me, too. lol Seriously, I'm so glad to know you'll be home with your family for the holidays. Work on getting that other 10% working. Hugs and take care of yourself. Put some chocolates in their stockings!!

Message received and thanks, Tom. I really like Chai tea, but the comfort of hot chocolate soothes my senses.
